Best thing to stain Decking
Hi all,
Can you help? I have some decking which last year spent circa £100 on 4 tins of ronseal decking stain. All looked nice, but loads of it has come off through, wear and tear ( admitedly a lot due to building an extension!). I wonder if there is anything better (and cheaper), that will a) last longer and b) cover the old staining and where it has come off? thanks |

Don't have any decking but you can usually rely on children to stain something permanently :~) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

A cheap way is to use fence paint but it does not look as nice in my opinion |

I guess that is no help thought eh. rob |

I've just treated a deck using Cuprinol deck stain which comes in different colours and it seems to have done a pretty good job and penetrated the wood well . It is solvent based but is supposed to be hard wearing ...... Only problem is if not going over similar product you would have to remove other stuff first . I got away with just presure washing etc. |
